MTT Final Table -- QQ

I read a post on 2+2 somewhat recently that said that often a better way to play QQ in a spot like this is to call preflop and then be ready to get it all-in on any non A or K flop. I've done this with a good deal of success recently. If you're in position, you can usually expect a c-bet from the OR. And if you're out of position, you can simply open-push or check/push depending on your read and image.

Thanks again, good discussion. If I were deeper, I really would've liked to call.

Not advocating calling here. But, the deeper the stacks, the more you want to get QQ all-in PrF, if you are narrowing his range to AK, and big pairs. If you are trying to play AK the most profitably, at this depth, calling, and getting it in on a non A or K flop is best.

PrF pot-12k
Eff. stack-188k

shove= .57(388k)-188k
shove= 33,160

call=.3(-32k)+.7(76k)
call=43,600

Again, he didnt flip his cards, and show us AK, but in case your wondering. As stacks get deeper, QQ has bigger claim to to his PrF equity adv.(.57), and does better getting it all-in PrF.
